People interested in investing in cryptocurrency may be interested in a new project that is combining renewable energy and bitcoin mining.

有兴趣投资加密货币的人可能对一个将可再生能源和比特币采矿相结合的新项目感兴趣。

As reported by CoinDesk on July 12, Spencer Marr, president of startup Sangha Renewables, said in an interview that his firm is close to launching a wind farm project in West Texas that will also be used for bitcoin mining.

正如Coindesk在7月12日报道的那样，Startup Sangha Renewables总裁Spencer Marr在接受采访时说，他的公司即将在西得克萨斯州开设一项风电场项目，该项目也将用于比特币采矿。

The project, which began in November 2021 and is being developed in partnership with CSD Energy, will see 100 megawatts (MW) of wind turbines generate electricity for a subsidiary of Sangha Renewables, which in turn will deploy 25,000 advanced integrated circuits (ASICs) to mine bitcoin.

该项目始于2021年11月，并与CSD Energy合作开发，将看到100兆瓦（MW）的风力涡轮机为Sangha Renewables的子公司发电，而Sangha Renewables的子公司又将部署25,000个高级综合电路（ASASICS）来开采比特币。

“We have been extremely pleased with the development so far,” Marr said.

马尔说：“到目前为止，我们对这一发展感到非常满意。”

“We made the decision to use our own funds to buy long lead time electrical infrastructure last November, even prior to the deal closing, to ensure we could be mining as soon as possible, and that has paid off.”

“我们决定使用自己的资金去年11月，甚至在交易结案之前，以确保我们可以尽快开采，并获得了回报。”

“We also have a great team of partners and suppliers, including CSD Energy, EcoDigital, Moonshot Electrical, Fusion Industries, Greenhash and Pro Mining Solutions that have all pitched in to make this a success,” Marr added.

Marr补充说：“我们还拥有一支伟大的合作伙伴和供应商团队，包括CSD Energy，Ecodigital，Moonshot Electrical，Fusion Industries，Greenhash和Pro Mining Solutions，这些解决方案都促使您取得成功。”

Most mining companies focus on acquiring mining rigs and seeking the cheapest electricity contracts possible to produce bitcoin, but Sangha’s approach is different: to convince large renewable energy companies to incorporate bitcoin mining into their own business models.

大多数矿业公司专注于购买采矿钻机并寻求生产比特币的最便宜的电力合同，但是Sangha的方法不同：说服大型可再生能源公司将比特币采矿纳入其自己的商业模式。

The pitch is simple. Green energy projects often suffer from a mismatch in production and demand. A wind farm, for example, may generate a lot of electricity on a windy night — right when everyone is asleep and consumption is lowest. Instead of selling that surplus electricity at a loss, the affected company could switch on bitcoin mining machines and turn a profit.

音高很简单。绿色能源项目经常遭受生产和需求不匹配的困扰。例如，一个风电场可能会在大风的夜晚产生大量电力 - 就每个人都睡着并且消费最低时。该受影响的公司无需损失盈余电力，而是可以打开比特币矿业机并赚钱。

The startup applied for permits for the project in 2020 and began construction in November 2. The project is expected to generate $42 million in revenue in the first 12 months and mine roughly 900 bitcoin over the next 10 years. It will have access to electricity for anywhere between 2.8 cents and 3.2 cents per kilowatt-hour on a 30-year lease, meaning that investors will be able to acquire bitcoin at a 25% to 50% discount.

该初创公司于2020年申请了该项目的许可证，并于11月2日开始建设。该项目预计将在最初的12个月内产生4200万美元的收入，并在未来10年内大约是900个比特币。 30年的租约，它将可以使用2.8美分至3.2美分的每千瓦时2.8美分至3.2美分的任何地方，这意味着投资者将能够以25％至50％的折扣以25％至50％的折扣收购比特币。

Construction is projected to close in the second half of July, though unforeseen events may push that back a month. Bitcoin mining should begin soon as construction is complete.

施工预计将于7月下半年关闭，尽管不可预见的事件可能会推迟一个月。比特币采矿应在建设完成后立即开始。

“We expect to commission the project over the summer and use that time to iron out any initial kinks,” Marr said. “We purposely ordered 2% more ASICs than we needed to give us a margin of error for faulty machines.”

马尔说：“我们希望在整个夏季进行委托该项目，并利用这段时间来消除任何最初的纠结。” “我们故意订购的ASIC比我们需要给我们的错误机器的错误余地多2％。”

With $14 million raised so far through equity — partially thanks to Plural Energy, which enables mid-sized renewable energy projects to raise funds from investors on-chain — Sangha has secured 82% of its $17 million equity round target for the West Texas project.

到目前为止，通过股权筹集了1400万美元 - 部分归功于复数能源，这使中型可再生能源项目能够从投资者的链上筹集资金 - Sangha已为西德克萨斯州项目获得了其1700万美元的股票循环目标的82％。

“By the fall, we expect to be a well-oiled machine and to be utilizing Plural Energy’s smart contract capabilities to stream distributions to our equity investors, who are excited by the idea of receiving distributions natively in bitcoin,” Marr said.

马尔说：“到秋天，我们希望成为一台油腻的机器，并利用复数能源的智能合同能力将分配流向我们的股票投资者，他们对在比特币中本来进行分配的想法感到兴奋。”
